HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO LORRAINE & EUGENE!

Happy Anniversary!
Lorraine and Eugene's family surprised them at the end of June. They were supposed to go to Duluth to ride on the Vista King with supposedly "free" tickets from their daughter. They went to Cold Stone Creamery for ice cream first and one of their sons and his family were already there. Suddenly their grandchildren from Albuquerque walked in. Lorraine and Eugene were in shock, especially when the kids said they had come by themselves! Then their parents parents walked in. They all got together to celebrate Lorraine and Eugene's 50th anniversary early (it is really in September). Their son from New Mexico hadn't been "up north" for five years. (They did go for the boat ride!).

Looking good (and young) and happy after 50 years!
The family (color coded): Steve and Lori's family in black, Jim and Sue's family in white, Mark and Sandi's family in turquoise and Lori in red.

Lorraine says, "Eugene is an only child and has enhanced our population by 25 people!"

While Mark was there the guys went out geocaching and found one of the Walkie Talkies' geocaches plus others in the area.

What a great surprise and neat get together for everyone!
